[@adbayou1253]

Means you didn't travel that much. No way Addis Ababa can win over Nairobi. Nairobi you feel like you're abroad the city looks different you will see a lot of foreigners around you. In Addis Ababa there's no that much places to enjoy except few that you can count like the Park. most building are the same design. They don't have big malls and even if you get it you can't use your credit card they will tell you there's no system. The only thing I like about Addis is the safety you can walk at mid night and no one will talk to you unlike Kenya where you got robbed.

[@dudy]

@@adbayou1253 tue, Addis Abeba does not have that many foreigners.. Especially for being known as the diplomatic hub of Africa.... In fact I haven´t even tried paying with card, due to the currency havoc... Unfortunately also walking at night on street... well I did in both cities... and I must say in Nairobi it improved and unfortunately in Addis it seems it became less safe (but still very ok)

[@dwamburu1]

I am a Kenyan married to an Ethiopian and though we've lived in the UK for the past 23 years, I have visited both cities several times and therefore can talk from an informed point of view. Addis was barely a dilapidated city 20 years ago with a small airport but within the last 15 years or so, the city just erupted into something so beautiful with sky scrappers mushrooming all over the city, then came the construction of most modern airport in Bole, new highways and then the light rail [the first of it's kind in sub Sahara Africa -only Morocco has one ] this completely reduced Nairobi's public transport to almost zero for comparison purposes. The icing on the cake for Addis is the recent developments of the Friendship Park, Entoto Park by Prime Minister Dr Abiy Ahmed, a genius if you asked me. Nairobi on the other hand has developed so much during the past 10 years of Uhuru Kenyatta, with sky scrapers cropping up everywhere and the icing on the cake being the construction of the Nairobi Express Way. Though there are buildings in Nairobi which one would be forgiven for thinking that they have been plucked out of London, UK, it is not true to imagine that Nairobi has developed to what it is today because of colonization by the British. The British left Kenya in 1963 when there were very few buildings in Nairobi and therefore the credit of developing Nairobi to what it is today, goes to the Kenyans themselves just like in the same way we have developed our tourism sector compared to all of our neighboring countries. Definitely both Nairobi and Addis in my view, complement each other while each is beautiful in it's own unique way. I enjoy both cities equally -Addis gives me the Yode Abysinnia vibes -Ethiopian culture and food which is second to none while Nairobi gives you the ultra modern shopping malls almost equal to what we get in London or New York. Nairobi being a very cosmopolitan city and a diplomatic hub, gives you all types of international restaurants with exotic menus. That said, one area where Nairobi beats Addis is on residential areas which have not featured on the vlog so I won't elaborate further as it wouldn't be fair to those who have not seen both cities residential areas for comparison purposes. Yes, Nairobi has a few slums including the largest slum in Africa called Kibera but, the slums are contained in specific areas while slums in Addis are spread out within the city even though Addis government is clearing off most of their slums and replacing them with the sky scrappers and modern apartments plus they have an elaborate program of constructing affordable condominiums/ apartments which are housing erstwhile slum dwellers. Nairobi is currently undertaking similar projects of affordable housing but these apartments and houses are still by far superior in construction quality and materials compared to the Addis Condos in my view. We are thankful to own properties in both cities.

[@dudy]

Oh wow! Thank you so much for the detailed elaborate on both cities! I wish you could have showed me the both cities and make an expert comparison of all the aspects and areas! I have been to some residential areas in Nairobi, both the high and lower class like westlands or pipeline as well as kibera slum. I have made separate videos about these places. Unfortunately I had much less time to explore Addis and I did not really got to find out the kibera/ pipeline/ weslands equivalents there… as you say the slums seem to be scatteres all over. Even for the train I didnt have time to take it in Ethiopia.. When it comes to development, it seemed to me that Addis had a huge boom recently, but Nairobi has been developping steadily and rapidly for few past decades… I think they both are great cities! I really appreciate your insight and watching my video. I am very glad that you liked it 🤗

Nairobi seems cleaner and more modern than Addis but, When it comes to construction boom the last 20yrs has been more rapid in Addis than any other country in the region. I am sure you've seen lots of buildings under construction throughout the city quickly catching up with Nairobi. The war in the northern(Tigray) parts and Covid slowed down everything a bit but picking up speed now.

[@addpuppets9326]

Nominal GDP or PPP(purchasing power parity)GDP? There are two types. I think Ethiopia is now leading when it comes to PPP. but Kenya is still ahead in terms of per capita income. That gap is narrowing now. As far as comparing Nairobi with, Cairo and Joeburg . . . meh. I don't think so. Maybe you can compare it with cities like Abidjan, Luanda, Harare, Maputo Port Louis or Dakar. Honestly speaking even Luanda(capital city of Angola) seems a lot modern and cleaner than Nairobi. Just check out the skyline video recorded from a drone. Most of these beautiful cities of Africa were urbanized during the colonial era. They're well planned cities by Europeans unlike Addis since Ethiopia was only occupied for 5yrs but never colonized. One thing I hear from Kenyans is about the slums in the middle of the CBD of Addis which is true. Slums are all over the city.

Addis Ababa is doing great but there is a reason why Nairobi is called the capital of Africa. Kenya is heavily influenced by the West because it was colonized by British, and this has contributed heavily to Nairobi's attractiveness to Western multinationals and global agencies. You can easily spot a lot of Western architecture in Nairobi that date back to colonial times. On the other hand, there seems to be a lot of new shiny buildings in Ethiopia and I attribute this to growing Chinese influence it that country.

[@dudy]

I love Addis and l love NBO and l love you @ksgrmdsdl23830. It seems like Addis has a lot of on going constructions and different projects and l was surprised to see the modern train transport in the city. Nairobi is very great as well but most parts of the city are not clean enough

[@funnyallcare604]

so you're saying if not for colonization, Nairobi would've been....what? good thing Ethiopia was not colonized tho!

[@dudy]

@@funnyallcare604I’m getting confused with the colonization argument… 😅

[@funnyallcare604]

@@dudy well he is attributing Nairobi's development to the colonization influence...he seems too focused on the constructions and development the colonizatiom era brought to them..But forgot the fact that colonization isn't something to be proud of...You don't give credit to that. It's something that overshadows your entire history. Here in 🇪🇹 we were never colonized ,so we might not have all the shiny constructions, architectures, and the western multinationals or global agencies(like he said) ..but at least we preserved our culture, language, religion and most importantly we are not highly influenced by the western propaganda. And we are evolving, growing and developing in many ways. This is something you should be proud of..by giving credit to your own history and your own progress. Not to Colonization!

[@dudy]

That’s good to know, l also visited both cities and l love the development

[@henrykanja7268]

Addis is catching up with Nairobi so fast. Developing at that rate, it will be a matter of less than 10 years & Nairobi will be far behind Addis in terms of new high rise building, infrastructure, service industry and GDP!

[@dudy]

Yeah that’s true: the bad thing about Kenya now is it’s getting backward or crushing because of the new government and most parts of Nairobi are not clean

[@sebastianbukki3952]

Really!!! It's not like in those 10 years Nairobi will just stagnate...as Adiss is developing itself Nairobi will also develop itself. Nairobi is one of the fast-paced cities in Africa. Faster than even Adiss. In 10 years adiss will be somewhere in dvt but also Nairobi will be miles miles ahead

[@dudy]

@@sebastianbukki3952cool! I’m crossing fingers! What is the thing that pushes the coty forward and those that pishes it back?

[@sebastianbukki3952]

@@dudy Many business people and experts both locally and foreighn are establishing startups in Nairobi at a high rate than Adiss. That aspect alone shows you how Nairobi will be ahead for sometime despite Kenya having few challenges here and there

[@denismagamboh2449]

The two cities r looking grt. But am so disappointed there couple things not featured especially in Nairobi which the heartbeat ofcourse!!!! The Matatu(public vehicles) is on another level n very unique. The video missed out the good view of Uhuru garden,, the Nairobi express way gives Nairobi a wonderful view, also capturing the skyline from upper Upper hill defines Nairobi inna big way. Watching Nairobi skyline from Nairobi National park is smthing else. The same For Adis there couple of key places that missed out. Above all Kenya & Ethiopia.....the great Friendship is the most crucial thing. Thanks

[@dudy]

When l was in Kenya the uhuru gardens were closed

[@Travel4979]
